Americans are increasingly critical of Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration, with a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finding negative reactions to some cuts made by his U.S. DOGE Service and skeptical that the government is cutting waste and fraud.

The poll finds 35% of Americans approve of the way Musk is handling his job in the Trump administration, while 57% disapprove. Negative ratings of Musk are up from 49% in February, while his approval has shifted little from 34% two months ago. He remains less popular than Donald Trump, who has a 39% approval rating and a 55% disapproval rating.
